    Got the lips on my wheels sanded down before getting them powdered and installed the decals. Here's some before and afters.

      Some of the things I wanted to do listed above have been completed. Installed front lip and side extensions, blacked out beltline, and repainted headlight and taillight surrounds. Also wrapped the grill trim, interior door handles, and some other bits. MAF sensor went out so new one will be going in on Monday.

      Still sucks how un-low this thing gets.

            Went to Import Alliance in Kansas City last weekend. I applied twice to the showcase and never heard back. Was kind of bummed. Got there and they gave me a slot aha. Wish I had known earlier so I was a bit more thorough when detailing the car. There are a few small things I still need to do, including the vented fenders. But I am getting bored of the TE's.

                These dont get enough love. I'm guessing its because they are cheap to buy, but a total pain to keep maintained. You have to be ready to double your purchase price in the first year just to keep it running.

                    I think more and more people are getting into mini's now. Anything pre 2012 CAN be a maintenance nightmare. My '09 was okay. My '12 has been perfect.. the motor got a major face lift that year. Haven't updated this in a while.... not much has changed but about to get a second car and I'll be able to work on this thing a little more.

                    Nothing has really changed the last photo set except my front lip got ripped off....

                      There was a set of VS-XX's for sale in Japan that were awesome spec'd for a decent price so I bought em. Haven't even had a chance to test fit yet, hopefully this weekend. They should fit VERY similar to the SSS's above that I never actually ran.
